Postpartum B.O

@thepredestinedloser Old spice bear glove is my absolute fav! Works better than secret clinical strength imo which is what I was using prior

 

[thepredestinedloser]

@thecreativeone I tried my husbands old spice before and it made me break out so bad, my skin is super sensitive

 

[thecreativeone]

@thepredestinedloser Oh no! Yeah the scents on those fuckers are STRONG so not surprised it would fuck with sensitive skin. Honestly, I just googled it to see if there’s any difference between men/women deodorant and everything I read said they are exactly the same with different packaging. So, at the end of the day, you’re probably just fine using what you’re using lol

 

[thepredestinedloser]

@thecreativeone The strong scent is why I thought they’d work better. That’s interesting that they’re the same, good to know my deodorant costs more just because it’s for a woman. Haha I’ll just keep reapplying it five hundred times a day.

@conteh It didn’t happen with my first but with my second it was AWFUL. Sweaty and smelly and everything. You’re not alone. Bed sweats. Best of luck.

@conteh Omg. 4 most pp and I am so freaking RIPE all the time. You are not the only one lol. Solidarity

 

[dozie]

@conteh It’s not just you, I’m 7 weeks pp and I feel like I stink all the time. Like no amount of showers or deodorant is touching this stank it’s the worst lol happened with my older child too. I always thought it was just me too.

@conteh Yes! I've been using men's old spice

@conteh I'm still breastfeeding like 10+ times a day 20months later and...I still stiiiinnnkkk!!

 

[conteh]

@im_a_giants_fan I was just about to ask that as a follow up! I wonder if breastfeeding affects it as well, since that’s also like a hormone thing.

 

[im_a_giants_fan]

@conteh I have no idea how everything works hormone wise, but with my first I had to stop breastfeeding at 4 months and within two months my period returned and I smelled normal. With my second, my period still returned with EBF at 5 months. Now my hair is falling out even with multivitamin and other supplemental support(something that never happened with my first). Still got all my teeth, woot!

 

[faithtees]

@conteh Thankfully with my second it's way less potent but I remember it well from my first. No one warns you!

@conteh I feel like I smell like onions 24/7, only 4 weeks pp. Hoping it goes away soon!

I switched to men's deodorant thinking my deodorant wasn't doing the job, glad to know it's just another beautiful thing of postpartum

 

[myvin]

@conteh Noticed this too as well 2 weeks PP

 

[aribeth]

@conteh Yessss. It’s the worst.

@conteh It’s true. My girlfriend gave me some deodorant as a baby shower gift and is saved me when my other natural deodorant stopped doing it for me.

It’s called schmidts natural deodorant in rose/vanilla. It truly stopped the stink for me and it is natural!

 

[conteh]

@eddie1111 Schmidts tears up my armpits! I think it’s the baking soda idk exactly but it makes them peel it huuuurts.

 

[annjing]

@conteh Same! I used to be able to use it without problems. I think they changed the formula
